Since 1995, Jayasreenivasan Guruji has made his appearance on small screen as well through programmes aired on Udaya, Suvarna, Kasturi, TV9, Samaya, Zee Kannada and Sri Sankara channels. He has also featured in programmes aired on FM stations. He has participated in many discussions on many channels. He is the host of the programme ‘Kalanirnaya’ aired on Kasturi TV, which has audience from all over the world.
A lot of predictions made by Guruji have turned out to be true. He was the first to predict on Udaya TV that BS Yeddyurappa will become CM. Also, he predicted that South India will have a BJP government in 2007. He also predicted on Sri Sankara TV that India will beat Pakistan and defeat Sri Lanka in the finals to win the Cricket World Cup in March 2011. He was felicitated by Sri Sankara TV for this prediction. He has also advised the government on lot of issues including the suggestion on Suvarna News in 2009 that changing the name of BMP to BBMP will have negative effects on the administration. On Sri Sankara TV, he had suggested that changing the name of ‘Japan’ to ‘Jepaan’ will reduce the number of natural calamities.
He is also called Karnataka’s Nostradamus for his statement that Mayan calendar’s prediction that the world will end on 12-12-2012 is false and that minor natural disasters will happen as mentioned in the book ‘Agastya Nadi’. In a programme aired on Sri Sankara TV in 2011, he advised to change the name of the bus stop at Vidhana Soudha from ‘Vidhana Soudha Stop’ to names of any national leaders who have passed away. He said that naming the bus stop after Vidhana Soudha has given rise to negativity, causing all the problems in the government. He also took part in many discussions against fraud astrologers and has argued in favour of Astrology and Numerology. He has also started a campaign called ‘Bharat Lavo India Hatavo Andolan’ to change the name of our country from ‘India’ to ‘Bharat’. It is his advice that changing the name will work in favour of the country and help in its all round development.
Not just a numerologist, Guruji has also been working for a better society. His work speaks of his responsibility to the society and his love for his nation. In an attempt to introduce Numerology, Astrology, Vastu, Palmistry, Meditation and Yoga as academic subjects, he has started his own institute, Jayasreenivasan Astro Numerology vedic vastu Occult Science Research Foundation. It is with a view that a common man should be able to use this in his daily life and know the importance of numbers for a better life.
Irrespective of religion, Guruji has reached out to the society at large through his work. Guruji believes that Sri Sri Siddhi Vinayaka Sharabheshwara Swamy speaks through him and his predictions, and that all his work is the lord’s blessings.
Guruji's Journey on the Path He Walked, On his words.
My journey... No matter how tall a person grows, one should never forget the path they have walked for any reason. One must always remember their origin, their roots, their parents, childhood, education, teachers, close friends, and well-wishers at some point. If old memories are remembered, it's possible to find the true meaning of life. Many times, old memories create immense new memories in life. In this regard, looking back at my growth up to this point, I have remembered some memories that are still in my mind to this moment.
Yaldur is a small village in Srinivasapura taluk, Kolar district. This is my father's native village. My father's name is Ramaswamy Subbanna Yaldur. My father had adopted his village's name as his surname. Ours was a pure agricultural family, and also a family from the Balija community, which traditionally sold flowers, leaves, and bangles. However, my father developed a strong spiritual culture. The reason for this was that my grandfather, great-grandparents, and all of them were very powerful and knowledgeable in spiritual and astrological sciences. There is a Kodandarama Swamy temple in our village. We are all ardent devotees of Srinivasa. Thus, our family devoutly served the Kodandarama Swamy deity. To my knowledge, Kaiwara Narayana Tatayya of Kolar, who wrote 'Kala Gnana,' is our ancestor. Since my father worked as a Field Officer in the Agriculture Department in a government job, at one point, he left his native village and job and settled in Bengaluru.
My mother's name is Shakuntala Sreeramulu Sarvepalli. She was from Patimitta village in Naidupeta taluk, Nellore district, Andhra Pradesh. They were from the Jangama community. They were also called Sarvepalli. My mother had only studied up to the seventh or eighth standard in Telugu medium at that time. They also settled in Bengaluru because my grandfather Sreeramulu worked as a Foreman at the Indian Express newspaper.
My father and mother somehow got acquainted, and their friendship and love grew, leading them to marry in Bengaluru itself. My parents reportedly did not have children for many years after their marriage. I have heard that I was born as a result of a vow made to Kodandarama Swamy of our village and Tirupati Timmppa. I was born on July 2, 1973, at K.C. General Hospital in Malleswaram. Since I am a Cancer ascendant, my initial given name was Harshavardhan. Later, due to the vows to Kodandarama Swamy and Tirupati, and according to my horoscope, I was named 'Srinivasalu Ramaswamy Yaldur' and admitted to school.
Since there was a property dispute related to my father's assets, there wasn't a very good atmosphere in our family. We were in great difficulty then. So, we moved to Attibele village, 35 kilometers away from Bengaluru. My childhood and primary education took place in Attibele. At school, my name became too long, and it was difficult to call out, so they shortened my name to 'Srinivasa Y.R.' Then everyone lovingly called me 'Y.R.' I had a great attachment to my teachers. I even remember the name of Munithimmakka, who first taught me 'A B C D.' I only learned her full name when I went to the 7th standard. Until then, I used to call her 'Munthimmakka,' thinking that was her name. All the masters and teachers would talk to me for 10-15 minutes after class before sending me home. They would tell me beforehand, 'Srinivasa, stay, don't go. There's a little work.' So I used to come to school early and go home late. I must say this was my luck, to have the opportunity to talk to good teachers and mingle with them.
From the 5th standard, Rawat Meshtru became very close to me. He would make me write dictation on the blackboard. The reason for this was that I used to write Kannada letters very neatly. Seeing my reading speed, Munithimmakka teacher and Rawat Meshtru had then said, 'You will become a great person in the future,' which feels true today. Even though they said all this, I am a person who, like Dr. Rajkumar used to say, 'I am not younger than anyone' and have felt that way until this moment.
Munithimmakka and Rawat Meshtru forced me to take English medium in the 8th standard. So, I joined English medium in high school. It was a cooperative high school. Studying in Kannada until the 7th standard and then switching to English was a very difficult task. It was easy for those who came from convent schools. From the 8th standard, I got R. Govindappa; 'R.G. Meshtru.' He used to come to our school to give discourses from Ramakrishna Ashram. Through him, I got the book 'Veera Sanyasi Vivekananda.' After reading this book, some power entered me. I began to think, 'I am the King, Aham Brahmasmi.' After reading that book, I realized that I have many talents within me and that I need to identify them. If this was theoretical power, R.G. Meshtru was in front of me as practical power. He had enjoyed physical comfort for 40 years and then lost his limbs in a sudden accident. Even though he had lost his legs, his enthusiasm and self-confidence were like an unceasing ocean. He would always dress neatly, shave daily, and come to school in a wheelchair with such discipline. He would come and sit in one room of the school. We had to go to that room to listen to the lessons. About 60 boys would wait at the door until his previous class finished. By then, 15 minutes would have passed. Yet, there would be no sound in his class. In other classes, there would be so much yelling and shouting. His silent class always amazed me. The mental fortitude of R.G. Guruji and the theoretical power of the Swami Vivekananda book further awakened me.
The book 'Veera Sanyasi Swami Vivekananda' that I read in high school and R.G. Meshtru became the reason for the turning point in my life. Anyway, with the company of such teachers, I passed the SSLC exam with merit. My Kannada score was 118 marks. Dinesh and Kashinath came to our school to congratulate me and give me an award. I did not have the fortune to study further. More responsibilities fell on me at home. I had to do some work. Primarily, since I lived very close to an industrial area, the pressure to pursue some vocational course increased greatly. So, I took a CNC (Computer Numerical Control) course and got a diploma. At 18, I started working in an industrial setting. I got a job in a factory in Tamil Nadu. This was a turn of fate for me.
"I became a puppet in the hands of fate. Is this all my life? While all my peers are wearing colorful clothes, continuing their education and graduating, I am wearing a factory uniform and working like a donkey," I thought in my mind, and I was under great mental stress. Like a renunciate monk, at one point, I grew a thick beard and became very depressed. At that time, a colleague named Nagaraj was very dear to me. I would tell him everything. Then he took me to Muthukannan for meditation. He then sent me to Vedathri Maharishi Ashram in Aliyar, a famous place in Tamil Nadu. In Kundalini Yoga, he has a great reputation across the country. I learned meditation, Kundalini Yoga, and Parakaya Pravesha (Astral Journey) from that Guruji. This involves meditating on the nine planets. Parakaya Pravesha (Astral Journey) means keeping the body here and sending the mind to the planets, engaging in communication with them, and gaining power from the nine planets. I realized then how much great work numbers do. At 19, I entered the world of the numbers of the nine planets.
We had three shifts: 8 AM to 4 PM, 4 PM to 12 AM, and 12 AM to 8 AM. When I went to learn from Guruji, I would make sure I had the night shift. For many years, I hardly slept at night. I would learn from Guruji from 8 AM to 6 PM. I would come home after 6 PM and only rest until 12 AM. As a result, by the age of 23-24, I had a full hold over the subject of numerology. Numerology was completely favorable to me. I was working in the factory, and also going to give numerology consultations. In the initial days, people would give me whatever they could for the advice and suggestions I gave; I would accept what they gave. I never asked for a specific amount.
"If we believe what this boy says and change our name, change Vastu, or get our name board altered, will we prosper? If so, why hasn't he prospered yet? If you look at him, he has some old bike," someone commented about me, which I happened to overhear. This remark can also be called one of the turning points in my life. This was in 1998. This statement deeply hurt my mind. From then on, I took numerology seriously and made myself a brand, stating that I would only give advice if a certain fee was paid. I felt that if I said I could solve problems for one lakh, I should live for 10 lakhs. From that day, I demanded that I would not give consultations for less than a thousand. From that day until today, I have not looked back. Today, people give me whatever amount I ask, and I am proud to say that I have grown to that level in numerology. Some people even call me Karnataka's Nostradamus. I consider all this as a reward for my service in numerology and astrology.
When Vedathri Maharishi, whom I have worshipped and will continue to worship, passed away, getting his final darshan, I don't know how many years of good karma that was for me. My Guruji did not give much importance to idol worship. He gave primary importance to meditation and said that worship was secondary. I gave equal importance to both. I performed both idol worship and meditation. I have visited all the Shakti Peethas (centers of power) in South India. I have visited all the Shiva Shakti and Devi Shakti temples – all the powerful places in Tamil Nadu. For this reason, I had to stay away from Guruji for a while. Later, I became a devotee of Sarabheshwaraswamy of Tiruppuvanam. Shoolini Durga and Pratyangira Devi are like the two wings of Sarabheshwaraswamy. I made them my witness and placed more emphasis on idol worship. I also started worshipping our family deity, the Tirupati God.
Later, my mind gravitated towards Mahavatar Babaji. I set out to discover his origin. He is a great spiritual master with a 3000-year history. His darshan is rare. He lives in a cave in the Himalayas. His original name is Nagaraja Babaji. He is originally from Tamil Nadu. I have heard that he only mentally appeared and gave darshan once to his disciple Lahiri Mahashay, who worshipped him. I have also visited that place, meditated, and gained power. From Lahiri Mahashay to Yukteshwar Giri, and from him to Paramahansa Yogananda, the principles of Mahavatar Babaji have spread to the entire world. I have continued to follow Vedathri Maharishi's Kundalini Yoga and Mahavatar Babaji's Kriya Yoga to this day. From the stream of these experiences, I started a new practice. That is Taraka Kriya.
There was a gap between Vedathri Maharishi and me. It was not possible to meet. But when I learned of his passing, I was in Delhi. When my wife went to bring our son from the neighboring house, she saw Guruji's photo in their house. She said, 'This is my husband's Guruji.' And the people in that house said, 'Yes, he passed away an hour ago today.' Since they were originally from Coimbatore, they received the news very quickly. This matter was only known to me when my wife informed me. It was already 11:30 PM. I somehow caught a flight and arrived in Bengaluru at 12:30 AM. At 1:30 AM, I drove my car from Bengaluru to Coimbatore. I had asked a friend in Krishnagiri to come as well. He was a big car driver. He started driving, saying he couldn't drive a small car. When he got bored, I would drive. Anyway, we reached Aliyar Ashram at 10 AM. We got Guruji's final darshan. Even though Guruji might have been upset with me, he gave me his final darshan. This indicates how strong my bond with Guruji was. He once told me, "In life, all roles come to you at the right age. 40 years ago, I was a disciple, then I became a Maharishi. You are a disciple now; after 40, will you become a Maharishi or not?" His blessing has truly come true in my life. Today, people calling me Guruji, Swamiji, and Maharishi is proof of this. I dedicate this entire book I have written to Vedathri Maharishi, who has blessed me unseen until today and will continue to bless me.
I have a great ambition. The fact that our country is named 'India' is a major reason why the country is still not fully developed. It is still recognized as a developing nation. If our country's name is changed to 'Bharat,' our country will regain the glory, wealth, development, and prosperity of the past, just like how it sold gems and jewels in the market during the time of undivided Bharat. This is his experienced opinion. For that, I have launched a big campaign to change the name 'India' to 'Bharat.' How is this possible, you might ask? Just vote on my website, 'Bharat Laavo Andolan,' 'India to Bharat.' I will present this opinion before the President and fight to rename it 'Bharat.' If this happens, there is no doubt that Bharat will once again become a wealthy nation. One sad thing is that while the British truly plundered our country, today, our own people are looting our country and depositing wealth in other countries. If all this is to be removed, simply renaming it 'Bharat' is enough. My only request is that you all support this. Besides thinking only about the country's development, I have also given many suggestions for our state. My suggestions have been published in TV and newspapers. According to my numerology, I give more importance to sound and the vibration we emit. The less negative sounds we speak, the more power we gain. Therefore, it is good for you to not speak negative sounds. In this regard, my principle is that the word 'stop' should not be used for anything. Every theater and factory in Bengaluru has bus stops named after them. When everyone says 'stop, stop,' the negative vibrations hinder the development there. Instead of calling Vidhana Soudha Stop, High Court Stop, Corporation Stop in this manner, if names of revered great personalities are given to these stops, there will be no negative energy there. Because it is called Vidhana Soudha Stop, development is not happening there. If this is corrected quickly, there will be no kind of problems in state politics. Good prosperity will be seen in Vidhana Soudha, which is a center of power, and there will be prosperity in the state.
To date, I have changed the names of 150,000 people and performed over 50,000 re-marriage ceremonies for couples. Thousands of people wait monthly to meet me. Not only from Karnataka but also from neighboring Andhra, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Maharashtra, people come to seek solutions for their problems. Besides common people, film stars, political figures, IAS, IPS, KAS officers, entrepreneurs, and many popular personalities from various fields meet me. I provide them with personal advice and suggestions. In a way, I am moving forward with the intention of doing good for everyone.
My future plans are mountainous. There is no shortage of dreams. I want to achieve more in this field, conduct research, establish large academies and universities, and bring all branches of astrology to every home – that is my strong goal. I am moving in this direction. My request is that the love, trust, and belief you have given me until now also continue in the future.
May good happen to all.
